If there is one good thing I ask you to tell me about you, what would that be? Just one and any one good thing about yourself?
let me tell you about a recent conversation that I had with someone who boasts of owning a merc and a bunglow from where you can see trees (!) and living in LA all his life and heading multiple companies and whatever more and oh yeah very fond of peacocks..
Me: Alright enough of you and your possessions in life...I am not interested in knowing what you own and I can not hear it anymore - if you can ...just tell me one good thing about you.
X = One good thing..okay...I have dated hollywood star '......''s girlfriend for quite sometime, if you know what I mean.
Me = Is that what you think is one GOOD thing about you?
X = Yeah ofcourse...not everybody has that luck. Not everyone can boast of things - I can because I have them or have done them...
Me = Interesting...and at the same time all crap for me.
There wasn't much I could have spoken after that. But I made sure I told him what I felt about the kind of person that he was. Why do I get to talk to such people in the first place. There was a moment when I really felt like sorting him out. But then, who has the time. Besides, everyone has their own life and therefore their own way of leading it too. Maybe that's the way he has been.
Dush, grow up.

People will be the way they are. They measure their own success by their own parameters. Are we really the judge for whether its right or wrong. I dont think so. Bujt do we get inspired by them-----thats for us to decide.
The deep ocean looks still and quiet, whilst the ripples jump. Shallow people find satisfaction in the frivolous, while people who find a deeper and more fulfilling meaning to their lives go for bigger stuff.
Sorry, as I guess all posts are supposed to be positive and talk good et al, but my 2 cents - owning a merc is not truly a big deal here in California, and having a bunglow from where you can see trees is pretty common. LA is not a desert, so unless he lives in a cell, I am not quite sure what part of LA he is talking about. Oh btw did this guy tell you how he was dumped.........sorry my bad!!!
Anonymous 1 - I hope you understand hindi - Dho dala hollywood-star's-girl friend-dater ko. tooooooooooooo much.
Thatwasit - to each his/her own. why bother?? Everyone over the course of our lives comes across the whole spectrum of people.
On our own we filter out the ones who cause disturbance in our thought process / our way of life / our values / our surroundings. Just another such case I am sure.
some people are full of their own looks ...and get an ego boost from looking in the mirror....some are enamoured of their talent for one thing or another....some feel good about themselves on their popularity...others feel good about the car they drive....some feel good about the woman they are dating.....
where is the difference...you are using something superficial and temporal to feel good...and judging the other as inferior and then feeling good about own your self...
happiness lies within...and is permanent...go within to seek this heaven and not without...all the best for that
since you want to work with a name...and your protagonist may be called mars.. you can call me venus :)
Good point Venus.
Happiness is in being satisfied with what you have, who you are, where you are.
Just one thing though.
Feeling good about a quality - physical, emotional, mental or whatever is not bad at all. The problem arises when, because we have one or more such property/ies, we start to think that we are God's gift to mankind.
Am I correct here or not?
Sharanya smile..that's what it was for.
Anony 1 - I did not ask him that...infact I was least interested in hearing what he went on saying...will ask if I get a chance again. You are right, we are not the judge to say what is right or wrong and I did not say he was wrong...just that it was something I had never heard and that's why came as a surprise.
Anony 2 - Yes, why bother for them. It was just a post about how I felt really. Nothing more. Nothing important.
ANony 3 - Venus...I sincerely hop you will sign all comments with that name henceforth so I know I am talking to the same person. It is important for me to know who I am holidng a conversation with :) Now to your comment, I was not feeling good about the fact that what he mentioned was superficial. I was only stating what I experienced (which I never did before) and the way it surprised me. I am made in a certain way and I have every right to judge people the way I want to. Agree? Which is what I was doing and will keep on doing. We are not talking of what is right and what is wrong. Only what we like and what we don't. Doesn't matter where it lies, I get it anyway when I want to - happiness that is. :) Having said that, I appreciate the fact that you are trying to help me by telling me we are no different...some think this way and some that way...but that's what perceptions are made of..some are good, some are bad..if I was to put everything under 'good' - I would be left with nothing as bad. And come on, let's be fair...we are no saints here. We have our moods, our thoughts, our opinions, our tastes and our likes and dislikes.
Anony 4 - pooof!!! am actually counting! But you got my point...feeling good is one thing...but boasting about it to force others to see you as Gods...am sorry, I can't do that..
One good thing about me -- I can see beauty and know that it is beauty... That is it.
anony...hmmmmm...
Hmmmmm???
Yeah...acknowledged what you wrote.
Well plenty said...let me take the question at the top-one good thing about me.....thinking......still thinking................n still thinking.........................will let u know the moment it strikes me
Don't keep thinking too much. I can help you with atleast a 1000 things, if not less. Should i? :)
You know...maybe you should.....because I am stilllll thinking.....but I will tell you one good thing about myself-I have a great friend
